The sunlight slowly drifts away,

Whispering its soft goodbye.

Shadows stretch, the colors play,

Brushstrokes burning in the sky.

Every ray becomes a sigh,

Every hue, a fleeting flame.

Heaven writes across the night,

Songs we cannot call by name.

Oh, the sunset wild and tender,

Fading fire, a sweet disguise.

All the world stands still to wonder,

Dreams are painted in the skies.

One light lingers, lost in laughter,

Dancing on the ocean’s crest.

Another slips away more softly,

Kissing daylight into rest.

Oh, the sunset wild and tender,

Fading fire, a sweet disguise.

All the world stands still to wonder,

Dreams are painted in the skies.

When the final glow is gone,

And the night begins to grow,

Still the sunset lives forever,

In the hearts that watched it glow.
